Title: ABS and ASR
Post by: Ant1981 on 06 December 2009, 00:14

On the drive home tonight, ABS and ASR lights both come on.

I did some tests which make it appear that the ABS and ASR are actually malfunctioning.

Are they linked?

Weird this  :shocked:

Well today, went out, the ASR light didn't come on, but the ABS was still on. Then a moment later the ABS light went out. Coming back, no warning lights still.  :huh:

Would that be by the wheel hub?

When my brake pad wear light came on months back, I thought they had just worn. But when I went to do them, I found the cable had ripped away from the pad, but the light came on when I was driving, smooth roads, no debris. Pads and discs got replaced anyway as they were partly worn and I had bought them anyway.
